Noobs probably were thinking the drama was over, but if you are up to date with things, you know that there was an economical majority agreement where SegWit would get activated, where months after that a 2MB hard fork would follow. In easy terms, it was nothing more than a temporary calm down moment for the market till in November the hard fork would take place. Right now we can safely say that at least in the short term, the scaling drama is more or less over, but I am fairly sure that this isn't a definitive end. It's just a matter of time before another attempt to 'hijack' Bitcoin will happen, which then will result in a chain split -- greed is what it's all about.
